Bob Diaco FIRED

[Adios]

I hate to revel in another man's misery but... here we are.

I doubt he is in misery right now.

Does this mean @Chief00 was right in the first place?

This is fantastic news, we all knew it had to happen but many here said there was no way it would happen. Herbst and Benedict just showed they are serious about our athletics and this feels like a big Christmas gift for the UConn fanbase. Now who do we get?

 

[Uconnalliance]

Who's up next?

 

[JGrande]

The reason he waited is for the buyout money, but also I am sure it was not easy gaining interest from OC to join the staff when they knew the HC was a dead man walking with any type of bad start come week 6. This will help bring in a qualified OC to become a HC and bring his own staff in.

 

[Uconnalliance]

And by JC, you meant Jim Calhoun...

And lol

I think a lot of apologies are in order.

No, he said announcement after New Year's Day.

Best day of 2016....

Give me Fleck or Moorehead please!

 

[huskeynut]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As to why now, I think our AD has someone up his sleeve. It was too quiet for something not to be going on. I never thought the money buyout was the issue. I think is was a red herring to keep people, including the press, from pushing too hard on Diaco's status.

It will be interesting to see who the next HC is as well as his staff.

Hope springs eternal!

Per Jacobs tweet...not sure how to attach a tweet. Christmas miracle!

I think it happened during the "Airing of Grievances" on Festivus

 

[Adios]

They probably couldn't find a decent OC. lol

 

[formerlurker]

Any tweets from players yet?

 

[UConnDan97]

How soon to the official "Hire Moorhead" thread?

 

[CardiffGiant]

What is the impact on current recruits? Can they get rescind their commitments?

 

[JMick]

lol I can't wait to see the back and forth between chief and FDNY

 

[Mr Blueskin]

Awesome news...that navy finish still pisses me off, I'm back in and so is my whole crew...Bizlaw called it a couple weeks when he said the admin saying "nothing" about coach was very interesting! So glad this AD has a set!

Whaler said he heard some rumblings a few weeks ago.Like they say, success has many fathers, failure is an orphan.

So Dan who's your choice? Is anyone out there that's any good?

 

[whaler11]

My daughter's dentist just asked me if Santa brought me anything good.

He waited until the 26th but YES!!!!!
